Investment Q&A

Q: Please comment on the timing and the reason for the shelf offering for NVIDIA. Ultimately how will this affect the share price going forward.
Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team, I'm quite overweight CSU and was thinking about trimming some (or lots). I've held CSU since 2014 and think it might be time to reduce my exposure. If you were given a blank sheet and could pick 5 quality US and 5 quality Canadian names; which would they be?
Thank you Brent

Q: hi,
does 5i have any thoughts on why one would sell all NVDA holdings on May 22 (or 23), 2025? could there be too much risk re earnings coming out soon, and possible poor forward guidance vis a vis tariffs? any other issues?
cheers, Chris

Q: General question about Microsoft. Historical data looks great, at least for the past number of years (when one looks at FCF, EPS, Share buybacks, Revenue growth, ROE, Debt - all appears to be great). Looking forward, what are your thoughts re investing in this company for the long term? My main concern is with valuation. It is trading at the high end of its average high P/E of the last number of years. What do you think are the plus, minuses and risk.
And as a secondary question, do you think there are better FAANG stocks, than MS (if yes, with a possible one sentence explanation)?

Thank You!

Q: How compelling of a buy is this one ? I read your most recent response to a reader after their drop on earnings? Would you buy here given the drop? If other large cap tech is more attractive (mag 7 already owned) please offer some names that you would rank above ANET. Thank you

Q: Hi 5i
I was wondering how you would see the odds of Nvidia beating expectations next week? Will the prohibition on selling to China hurt it.?
Thanks

Q: NVTS on Yahoo finance, not present in your database.
Pls provide assessment of the deal with Nvidia

Q: I have a sizable position in CLS.CA and am fortunate to have some in my TFSA. I know you can't give any sell or buy recommendations directly but as it is currently close to its one-year price target and with the recent Moody's downgrade I am wondering if a short-term drop (so trim the position) and buying it back closer to NVDAs earnings would make sense or not? CLS has a very thin operating margin as well so adds to my confusion of what to do. Any advice greatly appreciated as always!
Thanks, Lesley

Q: Good morning!

Mag 7 owned, UNH, AMD, URI, POWL, ASML, KKR, CLBT, LLY, ANET.

What are “your” top 3 US additions to this list? Thank you for all the incredible things here.

Q: Hello 5i,
Anything to add to recent comments after CRWV reported their recent earnings?
Thanks
Dave

Q: There are two stocks for this company NVDA.to and NVDA. One is on the US stock exchange and the other is the TSX. The difference in the stock price is more than just the US and Canadian exchange rate. Why is that? Is the stock on the TSX a B non voting share? Do you recommend buying this company and on which exchange?

Q: Hi Team,
Over the past several years, as a general rule, one of the best buying opportunities seems to be buying quality, best in breed companies while they are down. Stocks such as NVDA, META, SHOP, BN, CRWD come to mind here where in the past we have seen significant sell offs but the quality names always seem to recover. My question is, are we witnessing this type of opportunity right now with UNH? In reality the name has been a steady eddy, reliable grower in the sector for years. Now...it loses over half it's market cap in a month? In my un-professional opinion this seems much too extreme to me for a company of this magnitude, with a long track record of success, and seemingly huge moat in the US. Is it time to start picking away at buying this name, collecting the now near 3% dividend, and sitting on it for the longer term? Collecting the div and having the name recover in say 3 years would calculate to a quite lucrative return. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Which has the most upside consolation or nivia

Q: YNVD Can you explain in (layman's terms) how the NVIDIA Yield Shares Purpose ETF works? A friend brought this name up and told me this ETF yields about 25% and also has capital growth. How does it work, it seems too good to be true.

Q: Can you please list your 5 highest conviction large cap and med cap stocks for a 5+ year hold? All US holdings please.

Also, is it fair to say the market has fully rebounded? Or is the worse still to come? I understand it’s impossible to predict, but your thoughts are much appreciated.

Thank you for everything

Q: Similar to my last question, but looking to the US, I am interested in having a group of companies that are great companies and want to develop a grouping of these -whether they have a dividend or not, as part of my portfolio. Companies that have a competitive advantage, great leadership, quality assets, not too high debt and continue to execute with continuous improvement. Could you give me what you consider to be the best Great US Companies for each sector or industry. Thank you.

Q: I want to put some money into an RESP for our newborn granddaughter. I will add some more stable growth stocks over time, but I want to start with 1 AI stock or ETF and 1 crypto stock or ETF, as the base.
These will be the buy and forget, holdings in the RESP
Can you recommend a couple US/CDN stocks and etfs in both categories, and your thoughts on whether US or Cdn currency is the better option. For a long-term hold like this, am I better to use stocks or ETFs, as the base?

Q: Can you provide a list of US companies YOU hold? Please list them in order of weighting size ? 1) being the largest

Are you looking to add/sell any? Which US stocks are currently on your watch list?

Thank you

Q: I have some new money to put into my TFSA, but I'm stuck trying to figure out what to buy. For a 5+ year time frame, can you suggest 2 or 3 sectors, and 5 stocks to consider, including entry prices? Thank you
